Now that Hezbullah has suddenly morphed into a philanthropic organization, we learn from this photograph that they are distri…

I have figured out that the $100 bills are the Robert Rubin variety, as opposed to Paul O’Neill. I can tell that by the length of the signature. I superimposed real money next to the Hezbollah handouts….

The blogosphere sniffs out another Hezbollywood production–fake charity, fake money. Start at Snapped Shots, LGF, Allah, and ALF. I agree with the Boston Herald: Better no pictures than phony ones…….

Sure, they used to have huge piles of dollar$, but when Ahmadinejad decided he wanted to personally usher in Armageddon he started converting Iran’s dollar accounts all over the world.

Sheik Nasrallah and the other generous philanthropists at Hezbollah (their motto: “Peace Through Genocide”) are just shoveling out money like it grows on trees. …
Allah also mentions North Korea, which the U.S. accused last year of printing $100 …

How ironic Hezbo is handing out U.S. currency. $12,000 means they’re handing out 120 Ben Franklins a pop.

Assuming, it’s NOT counterfeit, it’s unlikely the recipients of the cash could make a deposit @ the neighborhood bank or atm.

Although, from a previous Allah post,

Hizbollah said it had so far given the one-time cash payment to 120 families whose homes in the southern suburbs of Beirut were destroyed in Israeli air strikes. The money is to help families rent and furnish alternative accommodation.

Money is supposed to fungible, i.e. it can be spent on anything.

So what if the families need “staple” items such as food and water.

Who’s making change for all the Ben Franklins, Hezbo is so “graciously” handing out?

So, for about $1.5 USD (assuming it’s NOT counterfeit: 120 families x $12,000 = $1.44 M), Mahmoud, Nasrallah & Co. have outmaneuvered Olmert in the PR war. Again.

Sigh… We’re in the long haul.

(fyi, Little Richard was Ben Franklin’s pen name, and it’s BF’s mug on the hun’ed dollah bill)

p.s. Thanks Allah for hooking me up, so that I could post the comment I emailed you!

p.p.s. Is there a Preview Comment Button I can’t find?

These guys are smart, evil, but smart.

… Hezbollah members began distributing US$12,000 in crisp cash bills Friday to those who lost their homes in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)Now that Hezbullah has suddenly morphed into a philanthropic o…

In July Iran will ditch the dollar in favour of the euro as the currency in which it will accept payments for its oil and natural gas exports, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced…

Those burqas are spooky!

According to that they are handing out US $12,000 in crisp new hundred dollar bills to every family ‘displaced’ PLUS offering to rebuild their homes.

I’ll admit to wondering if it is counterfeit money too, and WHY they are passing out US money, not the local stuff… and if it is counterfeit, who is going to end up ‘holding the bag’? Not US (U.S.)I hope

If it IS real money and they are telling the truth about handing it out to every family displaced (That would be hundreds of millions in cash), I wonder where it came from. I realize that Iran has oodles of money, but that much cash available to hand out on short notice?

Isnt there news about North Korea printing our green backs?

They all (except the head-covered crowd) look like deserving Hizbollah fighters homeless to me.
